Numerical Procedure of Determining the Effective Mechanical Characteristics of an Aligned Fiber Composite

  • Published:
Strength of Materials Aims and scope

Effective mechanical characteristics of fibrous composites are investigated. Calculations were performed with an ANSYS commercial package. Computational investigations of the stress state of a representative cell resulted in determining the effective elastic properties of an aligned fiber composite.
